Why can't we use Timewarp simulations to help feed the hungry with the surplus of food that the developed world has, or to better optimize the resources that we have, why do we spend zillions in simulating war insted of simulating stuff that can help our ailing
planet to cope with the 6 billion people that live on it? Wouldn't have that been a great idea for the ImagineCup...Kudos Charles!

You could gain more projects if you offer some sort of conversion of cvs/subversion/... repositories and issue trackers like bugzilla/trac/jira... to team system.
That said I try to stay away from TS as I basicly like to have the flexibility of running my own servers... for free, on any OS. I know TS is much more integrated but you can go a long way with a combination of subversion, continuum and track (jira is commercial
so I snob that one too).
Remembering the guy that was talking about the economics behind TS I believe he was (and still is) right on the target market but simply put, there is a too strong competition that is pushing these features to commodity levels (and more things like continuus
integration, code coverage, etc).
I believe that MS should make a low lever TS server that can run on XP and that has certain limitations (on number of developers or concurrent users or limiting just for open source projects like jira) but that can be free with every Visual Studio kit. Why?
Because we must grab as many developers of the other platforms. And with the other camp offering these tools for free we are loosing developers. I believe the .net framework would benefit far more from more developers that develop with it even though TS as
a product might be less profitable (and even that is questionable, as the people would push it to the offices).
Keep up the good work!

I must say that the two demos that have been shown on C9 were quite a thrill but my objection is that the model you've managed to pull off is so radical that I'm having problems digesting it. When I look a demo on java.util.concurrent it makes sense as the
higher level concepts are the same tackled for years, while CCR tackles stuff in a seemingly different way so I can't do a apples to apples comparison (that said, it's also the most interesting way of using iterators I've seen yet, .net 2.0 rocks).Can you for instance do some demo code where you present traditional concept like the Future pattern or some comparison between java.util.concurrent and CCR (two colums, one java solution, other CCR).Also they introduced some new collection types with finer lock granularity, will CCR or BCL try to tackle that as well in the future?

Although this might get outside the scope of this discussion spring also offers some interesting things like wrapping the DAO's in a proxy and declaratively assigning transaction poincuts using xml and their AOP magic. I'm just experimenting with this right
now and seems very powerfull. On one side I can test my code outside of my container but I'm loosing my exceptions so I'll have to explore more these concepts.Anyhow, I don't wan't to be misunderstood. I love .net and if I mention these stuff is because I'd like it to have best of both worlds not because I love java more.

As another reader mentioned it would be nice to do a comparison with these developments in ADO.Net and Hibernate3/JPA/Gentile.net etc.I really really like the LINQ integration, I want it yesterday!

I should have waited until the end. Nice stuff, I hope to see more on this.

I'm just static about monad but aside it as the engine what it needs is some sort of auto completion (have you seen stuff bash autocompletion does? it's not anymore about simple path completion and admin's digg that very very well).
If MS plans to ship IIS 7.0 on Core (please do) I think this would become a no-brainer.

Also it'd be very nice to know the MS stance on supporting SVG integrated in the browser (just open
this with latest firefox) and MathML support?

That said we'd like to see MathML support on the TabletPC power pack if anyone is listening. Ink + Math = Millions of students taking notes that have some meaning and that buy TabletPC's. Hello, is anyone listening?

Thank very much to MS for allowing this to happen and I hope many great plugins for it come out.Before I download it, as it was mentioned in the video this is a framework for the backend, does that mean support for stuff like parsers, lexers etc, that could help develop a whole new language are out of this Framework?

library but it had the drawback that once you use it you can't add custom images to it (at least I didn't understand if its possible, my c++ foo is not that good). So the question is, will you guys give us a nice managed wrapper to this kind of functionallity
(both dynamic access to icon images and extensibility with custom icons)?Second thing I wanted to ask, will the limit of 14 overlay icons exist in Vista (I hope not, applications like TortoiseSVN are hitting that limit already)?

Second question, why not use also Passport with it (like channel9)?

When you guys say dependencies are you talking about library dependencies or do you use some other conotation?
As I have to use Java in my professional life, I'm using a tool called maven2 that seems to be doing some really slick stuff with project management, dependency management, reporting, testing etc.
If for Java in the begining there was Ant, later Maven and now Maven2 and Ivy, and if we do the same analogy with .net where there was first nant and now msbuild, I really haven't seen any alternative for a project management tool like maven (PS there's even
a plugin for it to compile c# 1.0 code, very plugin-oriented framework) that's command line oriented. I mean I like Team System and all but as I'm not in it's target audience I belive it'd be nice if there's some kind of a open source counterpart to maven2.

I can't be sure as I'm writing this on a Italian keyboard but I wasn't able to find accented и or e. I wrote è using the italian e grave.One nice feature when using a US keyboard is that if I press the tick or backtick I can have è or é in italian, could we have the same thing on a macedonian keyboard?

I think this library could be very helpfull, however I can't see the SDK download is it out yet? Also could you elaborate into more details (perhaps with some code or UML) on the futures/ActiveObject pattern?Thanks and keep up the great work!

I must say that I got interested in command line tools in the build process quite recently after having worked for the past 5 months on a j2ee project living and dogfooding latest eclipse wtp builds (I'm a .net-first-person, don't worry). There were things
that just simply weren't in the IDE and it seemed natural to automate things outside the IDE. As ant was already integrated inside eclipse I decided I'd give it a go and although some results were easy to do other were obscure and strange, also the whole extension
model to me is still incompehensive, why not choosing namespaces and a schema is a mistery to me.

Anyhow I had this thing in my faculty to use maven and as I'm one of those get-on-the-bandwagon-first people I decided to go with maven 2 that just got released. Wow, an eye-opener. Although still rough around the edges it gives a plugin-oriented way to
manage the whole project lifecycle, all from a command line.

This brings me to my question. In the begining people were saying msbuild is like ant for .net, is it so or does it cover/will it ever cover aspects that maven/2 handles or will that be entering too much into VSTS terrytory?
thx
